The Gray Thrasher is the third purely endemic bird to Baja. Like other thrasher, it is frequently found on the ground where it searches out insects. The GT also favors scrubby areas where it will perch sometimes for the longest times. I found this bird to be very patient. The bird would simply sit and move only minimally as it might eventually look to one side or the other.
I had an amazing session of poses that day. Going to just post a bunch o end the year with my favorite guy! The rain has been non stop so I have had down time to process. Happy New Year everyone :) Click image for large view

C'est une première chez nous d'avoir observé et photographié ce superbe Moqueur chat qui était de passage et se gavait de Fourmis volantes fraîchement éclosent sur notre terrasse et dans le jardins de fleurs.
Ici une image prise en fin d'après-midi à l'ombre à main levée avec la 300mm.
Je suis beaucoup moins actif sur Flickr et le serai moins cette été 2020, mais je continue de suivre vos belles images.

It is a first for us to have observed and photographed this superb Gray Catbird who was passing by momentarily and feasting on a fresh burst of flying ants on my patio and in the flower garden.
Here a image taken at the end of the afternoon Handheld in the shade with the 300mm.
I am very less active on Flickr lately and will be for the rest of the 2020 summer, I still take time to look at your gorgeous picture and comment some time.
Wikipedia: The blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a very small songbird native to North America.
The blue-gray gnatcatcher's breeding habitat includes open deciduous woods and shrublands in southern Ontario, the eastern and southwestern United States, and Mexico. Though gnatcatcher species are common and increasing in number while expanding to the northeast, it is the only one to breed in Eastern North America. They migrate to the southern United States, Mexico, northern Central America (Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras), Cuba, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Cayman Islands.
Conservation status: Least Concern

Thank you very much for your visit, comment and/or fave which is greatly appreciated.
We found several of these very curious, friendly birds up jeep trails many miles from anyplace where they would regularly come into contact with people. On several occasions, they literally flew from trees where they were perched directly toward us, stopping and landing just feet away or hovering over our heads. This one was one of two who spent almost two hours posing for us!
If you’re convinced you’ll never be able to learn bird calls, start with the Gray Catbird. Once you’ve heard its catty mew you won’t forget it. Follow the sound into thickets and vine tangles and you’ll be rewarded by a somber gray bird with a black cap and bright rusty feathers under the tail. Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.

Thank you everyone for the views, invites, awards, comments, and favs. Have a wonderful week.
Someone at the National Butterfly Center in Mission, TX, told me about a Gray Hawk nest. One morning, I thought I would walk by the nest and look up to see if the birds would be in view. They weren't, so I looked to my right and noticed one of the juveniles perched in the morning sun. It then flew to a different perch and sat next to its sibling.
This is an unposted pic from the archives that was set aside for processing and only rediscovered recently. One does not get shots of Great Grays in such bright light with any regularity.
Gray Catbird
While I have been seeing catbirds in my yard for about a week, this is the first reasonable photograph that I have managed to capture since their return. Right now I am happy to hear their calls again.

Favoring more high-profile raptors, I generally don't pursue passerines, . I have nothing against these tiny songbirds, but being so small and flighty, I just don't have the patience to try and get decent shots. I will definitely take shots if the opportunity presents itself...such as this situation. I was waiting for Kites and Harriers and this one landed in the Coyote brush just within my minimum focus range. Maybe when I retire I'll spent more time working on a perfect Ruby-crowned Kinglet shot ;-)
Anyone have an 800mm I can borrow?
Very cold day. Everything is frozen and there are no fish. I was hiding in the reeds and managed to take a picture of this beautiful bird.
I have lived 80 years without seeing a gray fox in the wild. Thanks to my friend Bob Haase, who took me to his blind in central Wisconsin, I photographed a whole family.
I was astonished by the colors of this animal. It was a good evening of photography!

From Wiki: The gray hawk is found from Costa Rica north into the southwestern United States. feeds mainly on lizards and snakes, but will also take small mammals, birds and frogs. It usually sits on an open high perch from which it swoops on its prey, but will also hunt from a low glide. The nest is of sticks and built high in a tree. The usual clutch is one to three, usually two white to pale blue eggs. The young take about 6 weeks to fledge.
